For 45 seasons, from 1939 through 1983, Lyell Bremser called Husker football games for KFAB radio. His energetic delivery and his knack for turning an unforgettable phrase made him one of a kind. To many fans in the days when TV games were rare or nonexistent, Lyell Bremser was Cornhusker football.

Paul Jacobsen of Wahoo, Neb., has an extensive collection of Husker audiotapes dating back to the upset of Oklahoma on Oct. 31, 1959. He has transcribed many of Lyell's more entertaining calls and posted them here.

The photos on this page show Lyell in the early to mid-1960s (right), early 1970s (middle) and probably the early 1980s (left). But if you were a fan back then, you might have been able to recognize him only by his voice.

Lyell Bremser passed away at age 73 in 1990. Thanks, Lyell, for the memories!
